Chapter 1066: Chapter 544: The Wall of Hercules, The Empress of Ten Thousand Cities That Cannot Be Breached, Heretic Capital!!!

Ivita, the Hearthstone Witch, and Teresa arrived at the sacred land of the original natives in the Kokoal region, a holy island in the middle of a lake. This was the peninsula encountered by the highest god of Kokoal and her followers when they first arrived in the Kokoyar Highlands.

Legend has it that this island was fished out of the lake by the God of the Epoch of Kokoyal, carrying a sacred power.

Teresa led them to the Holy Island of Kokoyar. "This island possesses an incredibly sacred energy, and the Mississippi River that surrounds it might appear to be just ordinary water, but it actually holds a very potent terrain energy."

"It is said to be the blood of the underground monster that guards these highlands."

Ivita said, "Is that so?"

Teresa replied, "It’s just a mythological tale, but indeed, buried beneath the soil of these highlands are many dangerous sealed ancient Evil Gods, some of which resemble guardian beasts. The true essence of the lake’s peninsula is the Divine Kingdom of the spirits of the primitive region. There, I underwent the trial of the World Tree and received the God Divinity of the God of the Epoch."

"The Hearthstone Witch also needs to receive my coronation there."

Ivita’s gaze shifted, and casually plucking a ring set with a luminous silver stone from her left hand, she handed it to the Hearthstone Witch saying, "I appoint you as the Earl of the Tri-Archbishopric, you needn’t bow to me, I have dispensed with that."

The Tri-Archbishopric had already been razed to the ground by the Frankish people, with the upper religious nobility all perishing by their swords, which ironically gave Ivita the chance to consolidate power there.

For the current Holy Empire, perhaps being invaded was actually a blessing in disguise.

During the prolonged wars, the nobility, who were primarily responsible for the war efforts and privileges, would be gradually depleted of their power, eventually causing the entire class to collapse spectacularly.

The more intense the war, the faster the fall of the nobility.

The Hearthstone Witch was somewhat surprised. "Your Highness, is this for me? But why?"

Ivita, seeing that the universal Laws were protecting the Hearthstone Witch, replied, "This is just a precaution."

Teresa understood what Ivita was doing. "Don’t worry, Kokoyar is just a land of primitive law, where the laws have not truly taken shape yet."

"Even if your witch has received the God Divinity of the Kokoyar region, I cannot command her. Of course, by appointing her through coronation and allowing her to join the Holy Empire ahead of time, it can be seen as a necessary precautionary measure."

"Annoying witch, you can come with me now."

Teresa stepped onto the surface of the lake and walked into the natural stone cave in the heart of the peninsula. The Hearthstone Witch, hearing of the benefits, naturally followed quickly.

Half a day later, the Hearthstone Witch and Teresa emerged from the peninsula, with the Hearthstone Witch wearing a crown woven from plants.

The Hearthstone Witch excitedly said to Ivita, "Your Highness, I have received the God Divinity of the God of Plants from this place. But unlike the gods of Heaven, the spirits of the Kokoyar region seem to lack the immortal spark."

"The gods here are not True Gods. They will disappear as their Divine Power wanes."

Ivita nodded.

Theoretically, only the gods of Heaven are True Gods, and the Kokoyar region was even more of a primitive land, merely harboring some wilderness gods.

The wilderness gods sustained their pathetic divine power through the awe and fear of the native people in the tropical rainforests.

Ivita walked to the Mississippi River, looking down at the water, then his brow furrowed. "The power flowing through this river is indeed different from the energy I’ve seen in other regions."

"Can I temporarily link my power to the energy of this river? It might be useful in the future."

Teresa was slightly displeased.

Agreeing to such an act was a huge risk for her, as allowing the Emperor of the Holy Empire to connect to this primitive rainforest holy land increased the chances of colonization.

However, thinking of the Prophet God who had deceived her for over twenty years, Teresa said, "It’s possible."

Ivita instantly sensed that the sacred river no longer repelled him.

Ivita linked his Dragon Palace Magic to this sacred land, and in that instant through this land, he connected to all the ancient spirits’ sacred lands across the new continent. In a bloody mountain ring in the north, a spirit smeared in blood with crimson eyes peeking through emerged; this spirit was relishing the blood and heads supplied by the natives’ wars. In that moment, he silently turned, looking towards Ivita.

At the same time, a massive spirit in the southern mountains, wrapped in the sun and standing on human bones, also turned its gaze towards Ivita.

Simultaneously, many other so-called primitive spirits at the centers of their faith felt Ivita’s terrifying power relative to their own.

The universal Laws automatically repelled these three thousand uncivilized Evil Gods.

’The power foundation of these territorial gods lies in mortals’ terror and reverence of them.’ Ivita immediately understood their essence. ’As long as humanity enters a phase of civilization, they will decline.’

’For centuries, the societies of territorial gods on the two new continents had become overly developed, conversely suppressing the civilizations of all natives on these two continents.’

’So that’s how it is. They naturally hold hostility towards me now. These territorial gods seem scattered, but they all seem to stem from the same source, at least having received the same power. Otherwise, the moment I connected to one sacred land, all the other sacred lands would not have linked with me.’
